MEMENTO MORI
Decorated with skeletons, both adult and infant, the silver cup represents the ‘Dance of Death’. As a memento mori, this cup reminds drinkers of the shortness of life and the inevitability of death.
This cup is a copy of the original silver version, which is in the Louvre in Paris, France.

The original was found among a lot of treasures in the ruins of an ancient Roman Villa at Boscoreale, near Pompeii. The objects were hidden by the owner before the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius.
The file from Wellcome collection org. it was divided into two and enlarged by me; According to the terms of the licenses for the use of images, modifications can be made to the original file but it is necessary to clarify if modifications have been made. I don't usually modify files that are under license but the details look better after converting the original picture into two large ones.

a few kinitos
just a couple doodles
and mmaybe (probably) the design i'll use for when he's all creepy?? idk, i don't like the other one, it changes too much
so i thiink this one is better?? not sure! i just know this one is closer to what i'll probably go with!
there might be a bit of scopophobia triggering stuff under the cut?
fun fact: i usually call kinito "creepy kinito" in files when he looks like however i draw the 'creepy' version of him!
and a doodle of this design too. well. kind of that design??
have the creepy kinito in comparison to the rest of the cast on the height chart too i guess
just a tad taller than normal
